Some push notifications delayed 10 - 12 seconds with IOS 18.1

[kchamp]

When I have Apple Intelligence enabled I'm seeing a delay of 10 - 12 seconds for push notifications to certain apps such as Duo Mobile, Microsoft Authenticator and Ring doorbell. As soon as I disable Apple Intelligence the notifications are almost instant again. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yep same here.

Think it's a general problem and not just AI. I'm on a phone with no AI features and the stock app notifications (Reminders, Calendar) are slow to arrive.

Also seeing this in iPadOS 17.7.1.

Guessing some security update that came for the ride with these two OS updates is impacting something.

I had the same problem after the 18.1 / 15.1 update on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Turning on 'Summarize Previews' for the apps also fixes the issue (if you want to leave Apple Intelligence on). Basically, if you have Apple Intelligence on, but not using 'Summarize Previews', then notifications are delayed for some reason. It doesn't make sense, so hopefully it's just a bug that will get fixed soon.

Wish it did fix it for me but still seeing delayed notifications on my devices compared to my partner who hasn’t upgraded to iOS 18.1 yet. Biggest delay I have found is with my Aqara doorbells. Up to 25 secs delay.

That worked. I enabled "Summarize Previews" and then selected the apps I know were getting the delay and the notifications are now instant again. Thanks for the tip.
